Installing Main Distribution Frame (MDF)
Hardware
NOTE:
If standard 110A cross-connect equipment is used, consult DEFINITY Communications
System Generic 1 and Generic 3 Main Distribution Field Design (555-230-630).
SYSTIMAX 110-type hardware is used for the Main Distribution Frame (MDF). 110-type
hardware is available in two basic types: the 110A and 110P. The 110A requires less wall space
than the 110P. The 110P includes horizontal and vertical cable troughs for managing
cross-connect cables. The system is connected to the MDF with the supplied B25A male to
female 25-pair cables. The cables are provided in 10-foot (3 m) and 15-foot (4.5 m) lengths.
Refer to DEFINITY Communications System Generic 1 and Generic 3 Main Distribution Field
Design, 555-230-630, for more information.
‘‘Example MDF Connections (Avaya G600 Media Gateway)’’ on page 66
shows a detailed
example of the Avaya G600 Media Gateway cables connecting media gateways and satellite
closets to the Main Distribution Frame (MDF). The figure shows the cross-connections for one
example station circuit.
